00:00:30A list of the topics, themes, and subject matter featured in this episode has been included in this episode.
00:01:00I will pull this dome over if we keep pinching.
00:01:11Fine.
00:01:13Last we left off, our intrepid heroes were victorious against the Legio Rex deep in the heart of the Romanzu Power Station,
00:01:25having thwarted the efforts of Legatus Dromarchus and overseen this terrible ritual where they were going to take the Imperosaurus's mind
00:01:34and put it into the body of an innocent young baby T-Rex.
00:01:38Old little one.
00:01:39Old little one.
00:01:40Old little one.
00:01:41Instead, they went toe-to-toe with the Windriders, and they got what they had coming.
00:01:48As the battle erupted into triumphant victory, explosive success, guardians of the Power Station of Romanzu,
00:01:54these horned beetle constructs welcomed you as associates of Comfrey MacLeod, who was part of a research project here,
00:02:00bringing you back towards a launch site higher up in the temple, closer to those giant crystal obelisks sort of mounted on the peaks of the Arendh Mountains.
00:02:12You, seeing this launch site, saw evidence of the dead bodies of warriors of the House of Fahuyar here within the launch site.
00:02:22It looks like some weaponry and scattered single-person fighter craft.
00:02:26It looks like the Zephyr Mark II may have beat a hasty retreat from this area.
00:02:32Wending your way deeper into this sort of research section of the Power Station,
00:02:36you came to Stone Tower, subterranean, much like the one you had discovered back in the Antarctic Research Station,
00:02:45where Comfrey had set things up in Gath, in your world.
00:02:50You moved through this space and opened it up, finding dead bodies of the House of Fahuyar,
00:02:55the broadcasting chamber of the original recording,
00:02:59as well as a automaton, a clockwork man made of charred cast iron with wires hanging from his chest,
00:03:11kneeling on the ground with dead bodies around him, blood caked to his arms,
00:03:15reaching out towards a golden machine, a small golden spherical machine with three sort of ports for these cables or wires.
00:03:24Behind him, you hear the radio.
00:03:27Maria heard more than others hearing a voice condemning her for a terrible failure and commanding her to fix it now.
00:03:37Stepping forward to do what guilt and voices beyond hearing commanded,
00:03:43Maria instead found herself prevented from listening to these voices,
00:03:47unwillingly by one Van Chapman,
00:03:49who, with her mighty gauntleted hand, lifted Maria up into the air.
00:03:54And to this moment, and this moment immediately, we now return.
00:04:00I would like everybody here to roll initiative.
00:04:06Jesus Christ.
00:04:07No, no, no.
00:04:10I got a net 20.
00:04:12So, 23.
00:04:1327.
00:04:15Oh, thank God.
00:04:16Shoot me.
00:04:19Shoot me.
00:04:21No, shoot me.
00:04:22Shoot me.
00:04:22Shoot me.
00:04:23Shoot me.
00:04:24I will let you finish the job.
00:04:25First, I must make amends.
00:04:2727 goes first, Pappy.
00:04:29Can I make a perception check?
00:04:30Yeah, give me a perception.
00:04:31Just to see what the fuck is happening?
00:04:32Yeah.
00:04:34That's only going to be nine.
00:04:37But you're strangling her.
00:04:40Yep.
00:04:41Do we see anything else?
00:04:43I probably wouldn't see very much on a nine.
00:04:45On a nine, no.
00:04:46Would you say that I got a grip point back on that last guy who ran away?
00:04:52Yeah, sure.
00:04:53I'll say that.
00:04:54You really want me to?
00:04:55Just, I don't know.
00:04:56Do something.
00:04:58Can I shoot Van with a forceful shot?
00:05:03Yes.
00:05:03That would push her back 15 feet if she fell safe.
00:05:06Go ahead.
00:05:06Make the attack roll.
00:05:08That is a 24 to hit.
00:05:10That hits me.
00:05:1124 hits.
00:05:12Okay.
00:05:13And then is there a saving throw to resist the push effect?
00:05:17I think it's a DC 16.
00:05:18Great.
00:05:18Can I voluntarily fail?
00:05:20Because you'll notice before in our last episode, it was a constitution saving throw.
00:05:24Right.
00:05:24You can absolutely choose to fail.
00:05:26I choose to fail.
00:05:27And you'll take 10 damage.
00:05:29Sorry.
00:05:30Great.
00:05:30The arm goes up, Mario goes in the air, and Pappy, that gun is off the holster before
00:05:35anything else.
00:05:36Steam bursts from the prosthesis as Van flies across the room.
00:05:40Everybody stay away from me.
00:05:42Eric, stay the fuck away from me.
00:05:4427.
00:05:45Van, you are going to be next to go.
00:05:47Give me another constitution check.
00:05:50I just cut you in a saving throw.
00:05:51My feet that I just got lets me go before initiative.
00:05:55Okay, great.
00:05:56So it could still be my turn if anything else is happening, but I don't know if I noticed
00:06:00anything else.
00:06:01So you took a fee called fastest gun, which means that as initiative is rolled, you get
00:06:07a free attack.
00:06:08Yeah.
00:06:08So it is actually now your turn as Van goes flying.
00:06:12Can I make another perception check?
00:06:14Yes, go for it.
00:06:16Okay, that's a 17, I believe.
00:06:1817.
00:06:19Okay, great.
00:06:20The dials, the gauges on Van's gauntlet are to the furthest point of the red.
00:06:25One of them is cracked.
00:06:29Gotcha.
00:06:30Grab her.
00:06:31Okay, what happened?
00:06:32Why did you shoot?
00:06:33I have a seven.
00:06:36I think I'm going to try to just stand between them.
00:06:39Okay, great.
00:06:40What do we roll for our constitution save?
00:06:41Just a 12.
00:06:43Can I use my action to just help?
00:06:45Yeah, absolutely.
00:06:46You can give, oh yeah, give the help action.
00:06:47Van, step out of it.
00:06:49Okay, that's better.
00:06:50That's a 17.
00:06:51Oh, 16, sorry.
00:06:52So you go over to, I think Pappy's, you go over to help your old friend.
00:06:56You go down and with Pappy next to you, even having just, there's something about a man
00:07:00who just shot you, coming and kneeling down beside you.
00:07:04And as you do, you feel, you know when you have a full limb spasm where you're like,
00:07:10oh, the tendon's going to snap out of my leg and kill me.
00:07:13That's happening all throughout your arm.
00:07:16And with Pappy being there beside you, you just literally force yourself to stretch.
00:07:21And as you do, suddenly, control of your arm returns to you.
00:07:27I'm so sorry.
00:07:28It is your turn.
00:07:33I am going to use my full action and movement to get as far away from my friends as possible.
00:07:41Okay, you get up, scramble to the wall.
00:07:44Who rolled in between a 20 and a 24?
00:07:4621.
00:07:4721.
00:07:4830, 20.
00:07:4830, 20.
00:07:49Okay, so Monty's going to go next.
00:07:51I'm desperately trying to, something, a lot has changed since we entered the room.
00:07:55Trying to see anything putting off energy.
00:07:58I mean, I think we've been kind of around these distinct energies,
00:08:02like with Alethra's HUD and kind of what that has been showing us.
00:08:08Trying to see if anything in this room feels like it is on.
00:08:12Yes.
00:08:12That can be turned off or removed.
00:08:14Go ahead and give me perception or insight.
00:08:18You don't get to use a reaction until you've had your turn, right?
00:08:21That starts to react.
00:08:22That's if you're surprised.
00:08:23You can use a reaction if you haven't had it, if you are not surprised.
00:08:2623.
00:08:27Okay.
00:08:28I think there's something about what's going on with Van that, like, that feels like it clicks.
00:08:33There's something with what I saw earlier and this moment.
00:08:37But I think there's, yeah.
00:08:39A question about everything else.
00:08:40What is Monty reading on his old friend's face?
00:08:42Abjects, Tara, in a way that you have maybe never seen me.
00:08:47It's been a long time since you and Van went on an adventure and things are not the same.
00:08:50On a 23, I think you look at Marja.
00:08:54You're certainly not a doctor, but you've had enough of the people that know first aid, you're probably the one that knows the most.
00:09:00On a 23 insight, I think you can see Marja's not okay.
00:09:06She is not okay.
00:09:08And to the degree that that is prompted by energies, which you just were in a room filled with physical, palpable, pointed lunar and solar rays.
00:09:19This is another world.
00:09:20It doesn't even have north, south, east, or west in it.
00:09:23Who knows?
00:09:24Magnetism is a real force.
00:09:25All these forces are real forces and they act on things in different ways.
00:09:29That could be part of what's going on.
00:09:31Or it could just be that Marja is not okay.
00:09:34Okay.
00:09:35I think in that case, seeing Pappy with Van, that's tech.
00:09:39I can't figure that out.
00:09:41I think I'm going to wheel around on Marja, put my hands on her shoulders.
00:09:46Mm-hmm.
00:09:46Where are you right now, Junker?
00:09:50Where am I?
00:09:51Uh, I'm, I think I'm, I'm back on the ship and I'm not sure if what has been done to us is, is cosmic retribution for what we've done.
00:10:09Um, I don't know if this is just the universe reminding us that where we belong is the scrap and not the sky.
00:10:16And I don't know if this is my fault for letting Ludmilla become the captain when she was not ready.
00:10:24And I know that I have things to repair.
00:10:26And this creature is asking me to repair it.
00:10:30And it's speaking directly to my own feeling of, I have to do this.
00:10:36Monty, have you moved your body in between Marja and the figure, the automaton?
00:10:43Definitely.
00:10:44At the top of your turn, Marja, I'd like you to make another wisdom saving throw.
00:10:48You may do so with advantage.
00:10:5219.
00:10:56Feelings remain, but there's something about your friend's body.
00:11:01As he asks you where you are on an emotional level, you are back on your ship, but also you feel two hands, one on each of your arms that are standing in a stone chamber in Ramansu Power Station.
00:11:18And as you can see Monty's chest rise and fall with breath, your consciousness is also back in this room.
00:11:29You are seeing reality in your friends again.
00:11:34I'm sorry.
00:11:36This is not my fault.
00:11:38No.
00:11:38It's my fault.
00:11:39I heard, no, I, I, I, I, I, I, can I do an arcana check on this robot that was speaking to me?
00:11:52Um, does Marja say speaking to me out loud?
00:11:56Yeah, why not?
00:11:57I'm not thinking like.
00:11:58All of you are aware that you did not hear a voice.
00:12:01Are we still in initiative?
00:12:03Yes, we're still in initiative.
00:12:04But Marja, you step forward, give me an arcana check.
00:12:07Okay, I rolled it, uh, 15.
00:12:11You're looking at some of the finest clockwork you've ever seen.
00:12:20The golden device down there on the ground has a tiny key in it, a wind-up key.
00:12:27And what you see are an elaborate series of coils and wind-up functions that mean that something infinitesimally small inside of that golden device can get wound up with just two fingers, like an incredible amount of power.
00:12:45Some refractory thing that a little bit of leverage from a finger and a thumb.
00:12:50It's like this dense, powerful wind-up engine.
00:12:54And down between this creature's knees in that kneeling position, you see that there is a almost identical device that looks like it clattered to the floor in between these knees.
00:13:10That is made of cast iron, like him.
00:13:14So he was reaching, that's made of cast iron, this is made of gold.
00:13:18Gold, yeah.
00:13:19Trying to...
00:13:20Can I cast identify on this?
00:13:22Yes, you can.
00:13:23Yeah, okay.
00:13:24I'll be careful if there's been, yeah.
00:13:26And I think as you can...
00:13:27Yes, I understand I have lost your trust, but Montice, set me straight.
00:13:32I can be professional from here on.
00:13:34I cast identify.
00:13:35Identify is one action, correct?
00:13:37Yeah.
00:13:38Yeah.
00:13:38Oh, but it does take a minute.
00:13:40It takes a minute to cast.
00:13:41It takes a minute.
00:13:41You begin to...
00:13:42So you begin to inspect Alethra.
00:13:44As you see that Mariette is beginning to inspect these devices, do anyone get between a 10 and a 20?
00:13:5110.
00:13:5110.
00:13:52Okay, great.
00:13:53So 10, you're going to go.
00:13:54Okay, if my vision is still up, I'm imagining this is red energy.
00:14:00What's the gold ball?
00:14:02The gold is a powerful energy signature of that of Zood.
00:14:08So it is like, it's not extra planar, but you can, the background humming energy just of this plane,
00:14:16its normal frequencies are just very concentrated within that.
00:14:18In between his knees, that cast iron device, that is...
00:14:25Of Gath?
00:14:26Not of Gath.
00:14:27That's the same thing as the pink light.
00:14:29It's the same thing as Straka written on Mariette's bullets.
00:14:33Furnace.
00:14:34Furnace.
00:14:35Is this thing like hacked almost?
00:14:37Was it supposed to be used for one purpose and somebody tried to make it for another?
00:14:40Or was it taken from somewhere and it wants to use this Zood power to level up?
00:14:46Can I investigate and see if some sort of ritual is in the middle of being taken place?
00:14:50Yes.
00:14:51Was this left for us to find like this on purpose?
00:14:54Okay.
00:14:55Nine.
00:14:56Yeah, you see these different energies.
00:14:58The Clockwork Man is definitely aligned with whatever you want to call that energy.
00:15:04It's the energy that you saw on some of Mariette's equipment.
00:15:07It's the energy that was in that red light in the main station.
00:15:13Straka bullets.
00:15:14Straka bullets, right?
00:15:16If you want to call that Straka energy, you can.
00:15:18Like, it's aligned with that.
00:15:20And then that the gold is definitely of this plane, but kind of concentratedly, right?
00:15:27Van is rippling with an energy.
00:15:30And again, it's an energy you've only sort of seen on Van.
00:15:36I have a reaction if I'm nearby someone who gets hit by a melee attack.
00:15:42So I might just hold that.
00:15:44Yeah.
00:15:44In case more people try to attack each other in this party.
00:15:48But maybe we should like look around and try to hear the new message.
00:15:52Yeah.
00:15:53I'm definitely within five feet of Mariette, but I'm close to the iron thing.
00:16:04Yes.
00:16:04You're close by, ready to action.
00:16:06Max?
00:16:07I guess I'll walk near the clockwork figure and just kind of ready in action in case anything
00:16:16is like manipulating Van or Mariette, just making sure like nobody gets like taken over
00:16:23and grabs something.
00:16:24So I'm like kind of waiting there.
00:16:26And then I'll ask, I guess I'll ask Mariette, why would this machine speak to you or say that
00:16:34you owe it something?
00:16:35It's part of the prophecy.
00:16:39Straka is the divine retribution, or rather the cosmic retribution of the trash and the
00:16:45scrap that you throw away.
00:16:47And the point of Scrapsylvania is to find new life for the scrap.
00:16:52And when me and other people from Scrapsylvania had the audacity to take to the sky, we offended
00:17:01the scrap.
00:17:04I believe that is what it is referring to.
00:17:07So it's kind of like rusted and covered in guts, right?
00:17:13Is that what you said?
00:17:14Especially the arms, there is like caked, dried viscera.
00:17:18You see that there are, the other bodies around here are armed and have some equipment and
00:17:23other stuff on them as well.
00:17:24Do you guys wait here just for Mariette's identify to work on it?
00:17:29I want to go make some investigation checks on, Van, does your arm come off?
00:17:34No.
00:17:37Do not take my arm off.
00:17:39All right.
00:17:41But I want to make investigation checks on the arm.
00:17:44Okay.
00:17:44Do you want to do these as medicine checks, or do you want to do them as investigation checks?
00:17:48I could do it as medicine checks.
00:17:50Yeah.
00:17:50Let's do it as medicine checks.
00:17:51Give me a medicine check.
00:17:53All right.
00:17:53And I'm going to add studied naturalist to add a DA.
00:17:56Great.
00:17:57I don't want to take it off.
00:17:58I just want to look at it.
00:18:00You can't look.
00:18:01You can...
00:18:01I'll tell you about it.
00:18:10The chaplains have been pirates.
00:18:14Time out of mind.
00:18:16And somewhere down the line, somebody did a deal with somebody.
00:18:23And it's a very simple deal.
00:18:25We're the best sailors on the sea, and we get taken young.
00:18:35That's it.
00:18:35When the professor came to me and said, I've got a ship that flies, I said, great.
00:18:54This is my way out.
00:18:58And then on our last voyage...
00:19:00It came for me, Monty.
00:19:07The curse.
00:19:07It came for me.
00:19:13So, the professor made this for me, and it keeps it in.
00:19:18And it keeps me safe.
00:19:20And I thought it would keep everybody around me safe as well.
00:19:22And it...
00:19:23I'm so sorry.
00:19:25No, Ben.
00:19:26I've been a liability this entire trip.
00:19:28I told you all from the start that I am not right.
00:19:32My heart is set on revenge.
00:19:34It's the only thing that animates me truly.
00:19:36You did the right thing.
00:19:38No.
00:19:39I'm...
00:19:39No.
00:19:40Ben, come here.
00:19:41Give me a hug.
00:19:42You did absolutely nothing wrong.
00:19:44Please, come.
00:19:45Give me a hug.
00:19:45I'm going to force you into a hug.
00:19:47Yeah, that's right.
00:19:48I'm sorry.
00:19:48I'm keeping my arms.
00:19:50You can put your arm wherever you want.
00:19:52But my two arms are around you.
00:19:53I'm so sorry.
00:19:55No, it's okay.
00:19:57It's okay.
00:19:57It's all right.
00:19:58It's absolutely okay.
00:20:00You did the right thing.
00:20:01I was bewitched.
00:20:03Van, what is it keeping in?
00:20:05The curse.
00:20:08So that energy is a curse.
00:20:10Do you know who cursed your family?
00:20:12No.
00:20:13No, I mean, it happened so long ago.
00:20:16And so it's extraplanar, that curse.
00:20:18I don't know.
00:20:19I don't know.
00:20:20It's showing up as different energy for sure.
00:20:22It's something from the deep.
00:20:24Oh.
00:20:24From deep inside the ocean.
00:20:30Hmm.
00:20:33The final horizon that we haven't conquered.
00:20:37So you're saying that the thing inside of you, that it wanted to stop Mario from doing something?
00:20:48I don't know.
00:20:49I don't know.
00:20:50I had no control over it.
00:20:51It's the first time this ever happened.
00:20:52The arm always, it just has worked this whole time.
00:20:56I've not even had to think about it.
00:20:58I don't even have to fix it.
00:20:59It just works.
00:21:00Except this time it just didn't.
00:21:02I don't know what happened.
00:21:04No, honestly, I think what happened was for the best.
00:21:08Because you were being compelled to what?
00:21:10Fix this thing?
00:21:11Fix this thing.
00:21:12Yes.
00:21:13Work with the scrap.
00:21:14It's almost like it tugged on a little string of guilt to puppeteer me.
00:21:20Okay.
00:21:20Sounds like it was good that you stopped that.
00:21:22I think it was good.
00:21:23There's dueling curses going on here, but it does sound like it ultimately was for the best.
00:21:27What was your medicine check?
00:21:28Uh, that's 17 plus 4, 21.
00:21:35It's exactly like Comfrey to create something like this.
00:21:41It would seem irresponsible to take something which is fundamentally a medical prosthesis
00:21:47and rig it with battle technology and a grappling gauntlet and all of these sort of combat bells and whistles.
00:21:56But that's actually part of the function of the prosthesis as well.
00:22:00By looking like a battle gauntlet, this thing that is medically necessary for Van is also disguised.
00:22:07Looks like a combat gauntlet.
00:22:08Looks like something that a tough-as-nails old wind rider would have and not draw any suspicion of being anything else.
00:22:17Right near the elbow, this thing is riveted to Van's bone.
00:22:23It goes all the way down into the arm.
00:22:27It is hyper—it's, like, barometrically sealed.
00:22:33It's sealed around something.
00:22:34And you can see that a lot of the gauges on it—I think, Alethra, you could confirm, like, helping Monty,
00:22:40that some of these gauges are literally measuring planar activity.
00:22:43Others of them are mentioning biometric elements just of Van, heart rate, things that are correlated to—is it that probably the most troubling on that medical level as you look at how Van is interacting?
00:22:58This thing is sealing something in.
00:23:01You recognize this essentially as being a tourniquet, not for blood, but for something else.
00:23:06And the pressure that is being produced from inside of that gauntlet is at a PSI that, if that is water, it could cut stone.
00:23:19This is like a surge of the curse or something coming out.
00:23:22And it's in the red, because there's a lot that wants to come out.
00:23:26Van, did it feel this way when we walked into the room?
00:23:29No, but it did feel this way when we were on the ocean.
00:23:32In the South Pole?
00:23:33Yeah.
00:23:34Maybe I'll try walking out of the room.
00:23:36I was going to say, I'll join you.
00:23:38We can step outside.
00:23:39You step outside the room.
00:23:40You see that little one's face is kind of in the door.
00:23:43He can't kind of fit through.
00:23:45He just steps out.
00:23:47He walks back and just sort of lopes behind Monty.
00:23:50And there's something reassuring about these big padded footsteps of a little T-Rex walking behind you.
00:23:56Mari, as you begin to investigate, you see your little steel defender opens up.
00:24:01And Kochka comes out to sort of hand little magnifying glasses and tools.
00:24:05Thank you, Kochka.
00:24:06I'm sorry we couldn't turn you into a raptor.
00:24:08I think that seems like an exciting fate for you.
00:24:11Eh, the body of a raptor cannot accomplish what I think in some cases are most important tasks.
00:24:19And you see he goes up and just goes into a little sling of your collar to be a little weighted, heated animal on your shoulder.
00:24:26Kochka, you're the only other person who survived.
00:24:30Did you hear the robot?
00:24:33Did the robot speak to you?
00:24:39Yes.
00:24:40Did he say the same thing to you?
00:24:42Did he tell you to repair me?
00:24:43I don't think it's no that I could hear.
00:24:48But I heard.
00:24:49You heard it speak to me?
00:24:52I heard it speak to you.
00:24:56Kochka, what are we going to do?
00:24:58We are endangering this entire crew.
00:25:00I agree, but everybody die.
00:25:08Yeah, no, that's a good point.
00:25:11You know, I don't want your friends to die, but also they're gonna.
00:25:17One day.
00:25:18Yeah, but you and I have.
00:25:24What?
00:25:24What?
00:25:25You see, Kochka looks at.
00:25:27Oh, yeah.
00:25:27Sorry, everyone can hear you now.
00:25:29Yeah.
00:25:29Oh, shit.
00:25:30Sorry, we can all understand you.
00:25:32I guess while Mari is like down looking at the automaton, I think I just want to lean down and speak to her and say.
00:25:40The name you said was at the girl in the picture.
00:25:45Yeah.
00:25:46Yeah, that was, but, uh, yeah.
00:25:50Your protégé?
00:25:53Yeah.
00:25:54And she was actually, she was, uh, she was Kochka's dude.
00:26:02Kochka's not my pet.
00:26:03Kochka's wood miller's pet.
00:26:07And, uh, he's the only thing I could say from the ship.
00:26:12Sorry.
00:26:13No, it's, it is my fault.
00:26:16Everything that happened, it is my fault.
00:26:19It was arrogance.
00:26:23Delusions of being sky-eyed.
00:26:26Hubris.
00:26:27We, rather, they got what was coming to me.
00:26:32But, I, um, I'm, I've got a, I've got a handle on it.
00:26:40I don't, I don't think what happened is your fault.
00:26:46No, gotcha, it was.
00:26:48It doesn't, it doesn't seem fair.
00:26:49It was.
00:26:50I wanted everything for her that I didn't have the audacity to want for myself.
00:26:53And she came to me and said, I want to be the captain for the first time.
00:26:57And I looked past all of my gut instincts.
00:26:59And I said, yes.
00:27:00And I doomed an entire crew.
00:27:04For why?
00:27:06Was she not just some vanity project, really?
00:27:09If you think about it, I see something of myself and a kid and I can't say no to her.
00:27:13It is my fault.
00:27:17And I do have a debt to pay.
00:27:20Didn't you start really young?
00:27:23Yeah.
00:27:24And?
00:27:25So it could have worked out.
00:27:27You just got unlucky.
00:27:30I, my father never would have let me do anything like this and I did it anyway.
00:27:36And it, I wish I could have gotten to.
00:27:43Do the things we've done in the past few days with my grandfather.
00:27:49Yeah.
00:27:51You see whose approval you're really seeking?
00:27:54I've been trying to figure out from afar.
00:27:57I, I, yes, I, I.
00:28:00Like what's the end goal of all this for you?
00:28:02You go back and get father's approval?
00:28:04It doesn't seem like it.
00:28:08I, I'm trying to prove that he,
00:28:13uh, wasn't foolish for being sky-eyed.
00:28:19I think that's a good goal.
00:28:21Well, I think being
00:28:23sky-eyed is
00:28:27I think it's something worth pursuing.
00:28:31Maybe.
00:28:32Or maybe all adventuring will exact the toll on you, but not until your last adventure.
00:28:41I don't know.
00:28:42It's hard to save with so much blood on my hands.
00:28:44Mari, as you finish your identify spell, uh, Kochka pins your last tool and scurries up and goes into the mech of the McLeod to sort of like deposit some other, or get some other little supplies.
00:29:01And Kochka looks up to you, Olethra, and goes, uh, you use the word unlucky.
00:29:10Miller was very sweet to me.
00:29:15She trained me and gave me the different serums they stole from Isengeist.
00:29:25I learned to use my little rat hands and learned to think big thoughts, not like other rats.
00:29:35In Scrapsylvania, we talk and believe in curse, because when mostly bad things happen to you,
00:29:46the thought of a curse hurt less than unlucky.
00:29:51If it's a curse, at least there's a reason.
00:29:53I think I'd rather be cursed than unlucky.
00:29:57That makes sense.
00:29:59Mario, at the end of your identify spell, this golden device, you uncover something and immediately see a piece of Comfrey's handwriting etched into the gold.
00:30:11Fucking, she's got her fingers in every pot.
00:30:14What do I see her writing now?
00:30:17So beats a worthy heart.
00:30:20Okay, Comfrey made a heart.
00:30:22It wanted a new heart?
00:30:24Yeah, I think so.
00:30:26Can I take a step back and look at the picture that is like the tableau in front of us?
00:30:31Yeah.
00:30:32Does it feel like this was positioned specifically for us to find in this way?
00:30:36Or does it feel like Comfrey possibly positioned this robot to be?
00:30:41No rule necessary, Daisuke.
00:30:43This was a showdown.
00:30:45These Fuhuyar people came, and this clockwork warrior was here by itself in this extremely important space protecting this radio tower.
00:30:58I think what you see is that one of the Fuhuyar people, the corpses on the ground, is holding a small leather container that looks like the buckle was snapped or broken on this little carrying case.
00:31:16And what you see is that looks like a carrying case for a device roughly the size of one of those things.
00:31:23So you almost wonder if there was a confrontation here, and that device was like almost stolen or attempted to be stolen.
00:31:32The heart.
00:31:33The heart.
00:31:33Just double checking that it doesn't feel like Comfrey wanted us to put the gold heart into the clockwork guy.
00:31:39I don't think anything was left.
00:31:40This is not a puzzle.
00:31:41Yeah.
00:31:42You're coming upon a scene, right?
00:31:44I will relay one thing, which is that on the day of the showdown with the beast, it was actually Comfrey who, she just appeared out of nowhere.
00:32:01She was.
00:32:02And saved me.
00:32:03Was it at the, at the bi-angle?
00:32:06Was it, like...
00:32:08I don't know.
00:32:09How did she save you?
00:32:11She just appeared out of nowhere.
00:32:13I was trying to drive my sinking ship into the heart of the beast, and she tackled me off to safety, and then she disappeared.
00:32:21If anything, I honestly, I have been fucking pissed at her about it.
00:32:26And then we see her.
00:32:27You're saving you?
00:32:28Yes, of course.
00:32:29Well, you wanted to kill the beast.
00:32:31Yes.
00:32:32Mm.
00:32:32It was a moment.
00:32:33I don't know if that was her stopping me from taking out Straka, or if it was her saving me from Straka.
00:32:40So I don't know her relationship with this.
00:32:42Do you?
00:32:43No, you don't?
00:32:44Okay.
00:32:44Maybe I don't know as much about her as I would like.
00:32:47I feel like I was kind of kept from her, so I don't...
00:32:50Really?
00:32:51...kind of putting pieces together.
00:32:53My dad thinks she's really dangerous, and...
00:32:55What are your memories of her?
00:32:57She would come and visit, and she gave me this mech suit, and she was just so cool, and I knew I wanted to do something like this, like being an adventurer.
00:33:12And then, yeah, and then I found out that she was missing, so I feel like I'm just trying to find her and maybe one day, like, do adventure with her or something.
00:33:22One day?
00:33:23Yeah.
00:33:24Girl, you are already adventuring.
00:33:26I know, but I mean, like, with her.
00:33:30What was it you said?
00:33:30This adventuring...
00:33:32What is it you said?
00:33:33Monty, did you write it down?
00:33:34What was the...
00:33:36It was really good.
00:33:37It was really good.
00:33:38Adventuring...
00:33:39Adventure.
00:33:40Noun.
00:33:41Is defined by an undertaking...
00:33:43No, no, no, the one before.
00:33:43Usually involving danger and noterous.
00:33:45I like to start with the definition.
00:33:48I think it kind of gets around on the same page.
00:33:49I think it was...
00:33:50What does adventure mean to me?
00:33:51Oh, everything.
00:33:53Yes.
00:33:54Everything was a question.
00:33:55You're already there.
00:33:58Alethra, luckily the mech is covering it, but she's like...
00:34:01She's like jumping up and down.
00:34:03The mech actually mirrors what you do.
00:34:07That's cool.
00:34:08On that identify spell too, I will say this.
00:34:11Oh my gosh, she's so funny.
00:34:12The device...
00:34:14The device in between the clockwork man's knees is another heart.
00:34:21It is another wind-up central engine.
00:34:24Older?
00:34:25Older.
00:34:26New heart, new power.
00:34:27So maybe this one was to make him almost like the guardian of this place or something like that.
00:34:32And this one is maybe like to make him a real boy or something?
00:34:36Like this Pinocchio style?
00:34:37I don't know.
00:34:38Should we listen to the full message if it's playing here?
00:34:40If it's telling you, if it's like tied in with your curse or something, I certainly don't trust that.
00:34:46To be honest, I don't know that it is officially, it's superstition.
00:34:50It's superstition and there was a time in my life when I thought myself above superstition and then superstition came and smacked me in the face.
00:34:57And so I'm back.
00:34:58And so I'm back.
00:34:59So maybe it's not a curse.
00:35:00I'm wondering if you were affected by this sort of automaton as it is and not the golden.
00:35:06These are sort of separated things.
00:35:10Okay, yeah, actually that's supernatural that it talked to me.
00:35:13Never mind.
00:35:15But, you know, you want to listen to that message and see if that helps us out.
00:35:18Yeah, why don't we look around at the other stuff?
00:35:20We're going to cut over to Van.
00:35:21And so you guys, you identify that, you see the two hearts, and I think the identify on the clockwork man, this is just a very powerful clockwork warrior.
00:35:32I'm going to take that bag and put the heart in it.
00:35:34Cool.
00:35:34Okay, you put the gold heart in that busted bag.
00:35:37Great.
00:35:38Cool, cool, cool.
00:35:39That was like its carrying case.
00:35:41Cool.
00:35:42Van and Monty, do you guys leave the, like, special stone?
00:35:47Do you leave the area that the key unlocked?
00:35:50Or do you stay searching that, like, inner tower?
00:35:53I think I'm walking with Van until Van suggests that the pressure on the prosthesis has lessened.
00:36:01You guys walk through more of just Ramansu power station.
00:36:03Do you guys want to head back towards that, like, lift station?
00:36:06We're following the arm.
00:36:07Oh, just following the arm.
00:36:08So we're, like, actually, I would like to, because you said that the PSI was really high.
00:36:15Yeah.
00:36:15Can I cast create water?
00:36:17You flip a gauge and hot steam, just water eject, gallons and gallons of water begin to come out.
00:36:26And you're watching a phenomenon.
00:36:29Like, think about storing gallons of water in a single human arm.
00:36:34Mm-hmm.
00:36:34Right?
00:36:38PSI comes down.
00:36:41Calmness returns to you.
00:36:44It can do that all the time.
00:36:47Yeah.
00:36:50Yeah.
00:36:51I shouldn't have come, Monty.
00:36:53No, no.
00:36:54We couldn't have gotten here without you.
00:36:55I just got so excited to be back with the team.
00:36:58Don't I know it.
00:36:59Now I'm old.
00:37:00Yeah.
00:37:01Even without this, you know, I could have taken that brachiosaurus.
00:37:05I know you could have.
00:37:06Ten years ago, I could have taken it.
00:37:09Ten years ago?
00:37:11I mean, you could have taken the entire fighting pit.
00:37:15I mean, patrons and all.
00:37:17I was just standing there next to Gotsch, watching him beat the shit out of that guy.
00:37:20And I was like, why aren't I beating the shit out of him?
00:37:23And he's a rowdy.
00:37:24He really is.
00:37:24He is a goddamn rowdy.
00:37:26I know he would not like to hear it.
00:37:27I know.
00:37:28I know he would not like to hear it.
00:37:30I swear to God.
00:37:30I think it.
00:37:31Well, I mean, all of them, that perfect center part.
00:37:33I swear to God.
00:37:34It's disturbing.
00:37:34Honestly, it, like, raises my blood temperature just thinking about it.
00:37:37He looks like the fight and the hair stays the same.
00:37:38I swear.
00:37:39It's incredible.
00:37:40How much product is it coming in?
00:37:41I don't know.
00:37:41That, you want to talk about the occult, the moose that he has in his hair.
00:37:45No, that's a good devil.
00:37:45That is a cult.
00:37:46That's the deal with the devil right there.
00:37:49How does the curse manifest?
00:37:51Or has, how has it manifested in the past?
00:37:55It only began to manifest on that last voyage.
00:37:59As soon as I touched the ocean, it started taking my heart.
00:38:03And once we flew up out of the ocean, it slowed enough that the professor was able to quickly construct this.
00:38:11Or, I should say, a first thought version of this.
00:38:15And then once we got back, she built this version, and then this has stopped.
00:38:22When was that?
00:38:23How long ago?
00:38:24When was the last voyage?
00:38:25Like, nine, ten years ago?
00:38:27You got terribly injured five years ago.
00:38:28Five years ago.
00:38:29Okay.
00:38:30I guess I'm trying to think if, around the time I knew that Comfrey was associating herself with the aristocrats of Isengeist,
00:38:38if there's any overlap in those two timelines.
00:38:42It was five years ago.
00:38:44She came to me.
00:38:46She was off.
00:38:49Of course.
00:38:49There was something off.
00:38:51But I couldn't say no to her.
00:38:52Yeah.
00:38:52Because I saw her and I thought, none of the rest of the gang is there.
00:38:56If I don't go, and she's like this, something bad is going to happen.
00:39:02And even with me there, it did.
00:39:05And we were looking for this.
00:39:06We were looking for how to get here.
00:39:08You know, she was...
00:39:10But there was...
00:39:12She seemed a bit mad, if I'm honest, Monty.
00:39:15And not in the way that's like, you know, the professor we know.
00:39:20Of course.
00:39:21Absolutely mad lad.
00:39:22Risky, wild, yeah.
00:39:24Well, I mean, you know, it's the same reason her and I...
00:39:29We had words.
00:39:33It's that something has been turning in her,
00:39:37and the way it is pointing her aims
00:39:40is one that is not the same thoughtful, considerate...
00:39:45Yes.
00:39:46...daring professor that we crewed with.
00:39:50Yes.
00:39:50Is she...
00:39:51Reckless.
00:39:52Reckless.
00:39:53And I don't know.
00:39:54It's part of the reason.
00:39:56Save it for myself.
00:39:57I'm worried when we...
00:40:01I do believe she's still here.
00:40:03I believe she is alive.
00:40:05I agree.
00:40:06And I'm nervous for when we meet.
00:40:09We did not part in such a pleasant way the last time we spoke.
00:40:14And it seems that she has only carried on in the direction...
00:40:18Yeah.
00:40:19...from which we went our separate ways.
00:40:22What happened?
00:40:22Everything you're talking about.
00:40:26She thought she could get one over
00:40:29on some of these aristocrats at Isengeist.
00:40:33God.
00:40:34She put a lot of people in danger for it.
00:40:37And I just couldn't...
00:40:38See, that's what I don't understand.
00:40:41Because when we were crewing together...
00:40:44Dangerous, yes.
00:40:45Always.
00:40:46But she would never put people in danger
00:40:48in the way that she started doing.
00:40:51It didn't seem like there was any explanation for it.
00:40:53I think it's something to do with whatever she's found here.
00:40:58I don't like it, Monty.
00:41:00I don't either.
00:41:00I don't like it one bit.
00:41:02Hey, thank you for being a friend.
00:41:04Sorry I wasn't a better one before.
00:41:06As you walk through the halls together...
00:41:12Feeling history and knowledge...
00:41:16Things that aren't necessarily secrets...
00:41:18But just the things you carry that...
00:41:21For reasons of pain or exhaustion...
00:41:23Are just sometimes too hard to say.
00:41:26Just better to let them lie.
00:41:29You move through the hallways...
00:41:31And, Van, feel yourself coming back...
00:41:33Into a sense of normalcy and control.
00:41:36Monty, feeling the weight of that risk.
00:41:40I think a...
00:41:42A high starts to crash in this moment.
00:41:47Zud is beyond wonder.
00:41:51And with this...
00:41:52Extinct creature...
00:41:55Nuzzling at your back and snorting...
00:41:58The wonder suddenly turns into...
00:42:00Something that you felt come free...
00:42:03Started to lack.
00:42:05Which is responsibility.
00:42:07A miracle...
00:42:08Is treading behind you...
00:42:10And now depends on you.
00:42:12And suddenly the thrill of adventure...
00:42:14Is accompanied by...
00:42:15Sky eyes...
00:42:16And clear eyes.
00:42:19Up ahead of you...
00:42:20Are several...
00:42:21Smaller work areas, offices...
00:42:24And some transparent...
00:42:26Slightly frosted...
00:42:27Because they're made of quartz...
00:42:28But mostly transparent...
00:42:30Windows that look down...
00:42:32On the larger launch site...
00:42:33The hangar.
00:42:34But you see that there are...
00:42:35Some other offices around here.
00:42:38It looks like there's a staircase...
00:42:39Going down...
00:42:40To a metal structure...
00:42:41A sort of raised scaffolded office...
00:42:43That you would recognize...
00:42:44As the launch office.
00:42:45The place where like...
00:42:46Someone calling...
00:42:47To single craft...
00:42:48And helping coordinate landings would be.
00:42:50But it looks like there's more...
00:42:52Private offices...
00:42:54Dealing with running this launch site...
00:42:56Along the hallway here as well.
00:42:58Can we...
00:42:59Using the alphabet...
00:43:00Read what the signs say?
00:43:02Yeah, you go for it.
00:43:03And actually...
00:43:03I think in a lot of places...
00:43:05You see normal...
00:43:06Wearian script...
00:43:08That has actually been put up...
00:43:10With like charcoal or chalk...
00:43:12It looks like comfrey set up here...
00:43:14With enough gas...
00:43:15A long time...
00:43:15Like a solid amount of time.
00:43:17A solid amount of time.
00:43:17To see the point...
00:43:17That the constructs knew...
00:43:19To allow her guests to come in.
00:43:21Right.
00:43:21Check the launch log.
00:43:21Do you think we could...
00:43:22Yeah, I think that's a really good idea.
00:43:24Give me an insight check on that...
00:43:26If you'd be so kind, actually.
00:43:28Can I help?
00:43:30Five.
00:43:30Do you have good insight?
00:43:32I have four.
00:43:33It's better than mine.
00:43:3623.
00:43:37Great.
00:43:38Perfect.
00:43:39I'm so distracted by this.
00:43:40It fits all right.
00:43:41Three.
00:43:42It's all right.
00:43:43Yeah, insight.
00:43:43What am I reading?
00:43:44As you say that, Monty...
00:43:47You're like...
00:43:47She had a long time to set up here.
00:43:49I think there's just a part of you...
00:43:50That goes like...
00:43:52Yeah, how long did you have to set up here?
00:43:55This is nuts.
00:43:56I mean...
00:43:56This is a competent woman...
00:43:58But Jesus.
00:43:59Yeah.
00:43:59I mean, there's the infrastructure.
00:44:01There's the whole...
00:44:02Yeah.
00:44:02Right.
00:44:03If she got here eight months ago...
00:44:05And then left two months ago...
00:44:07Is this six months worth of work?
00:44:09You got a 23 insight?
00:44:10With the most possible help and coordination ever...
00:44:17This is still impressive.
00:44:20Aww.
00:44:21Van, I feel like...
00:44:23One, I'm thinking we might be able to hail the Zephyr...
00:44:26So that we don't have to track back to the jungle.
00:44:29Maybe she could land here.
00:44:31But also, it feels like it's worth trying to figure out...
00:44:33What comfort to study in...
00:44:35Absolutely.
00:44:35In that time.
00:44:36Yeah, absolutely.
00:44:37I would probably move toward those two goals of figuring out...
00:44:40If from that area you described...
00:44:42We could open the hangar doors...
00:44:45And maybe signal the Zephyr.
00:44:46Yeah.
00:44:46And then also, I think, just start...
00:44:48Examining some of these private offices.
00:44:51Hell yeah.
00:44:51Let me know what you do first.
00:44:52I will go figure out...
00:44:54If I can open the hangar doors...
00:44:55Just using my, like, ship skill, bosun...
00:44:58I'll check out the private office.
00:45:00Hell yeah.
00:45:00Okay, great.
00:45:01We're going to cut back to the radio room.
00:45:02As you guys head down to the radio room...
00:45:04Before it goes...
00:45:06What's it like listening to your ex's voice all the time?
00:45:09We just keep listening to the same thing over and over again.
00:45:14It makes me feel a lot of things.
00:45:17But maybe the thing that makes me feel the most right now is just...
00:45:22I feel bad.
00:45:24Like, I...
00:45:26I feel like I kind of dropped the ball.
00:45:30With her?
00:45:31A little bit.
00:45:32What happened?
00:45:33And you guys were so cagey.
00:45:35I never knew how it ended.
00:45:37I think, um...
00:45:39She...
00:45:43Things were really fun for a long time.
00:45:45Yeah.
00:45:46Oh, no, we heard.
00:45:47Yeah.
00:45:48And you did.
00:45:51But I'll tell you...
00:45:53More generally fun, I mean.
00:45:54But I...
00:45:55I think we hit a point where...
00:45:58When she was...
00:46:00Trying to make the Windrider Society where...
00:46:04It felt a little like she wanted to me...
00:46:08She wanted me to be like an indoor dog.
00:46:11And I've been outside too long.
00:46:14Yeah.
00:46:15And I just...
00:46:17I couldn't do it.
00:46:19And, uh...
00:46:20I got a little freaked out.
00:46:22I was only 61 years old.
00:46:24Yeah.
00:46:25Yeah.
00:46:26That's a young age to ask to be tied down.
00:46:31Yeah.
00:46:32Yeah.
00:46:33I...
00:46:34I made a mistake, I think.
00:46:35But...
00:46:37I just couldn't handle all the change that quickly.
00:46:39And I, uh...
00:46:41Yeah.
00:46:42I look back on that with a little regret.
00:46:45Did you keep in touch?
00:46:47Did you go back in and out of a relationship a little bit?
00:46:51Or a clean break?
00:46:52It was a pretty clean break.
00:46:54When was the last time you saw her?
00:46:57We had very little correspondence after that.
00:47:00And then I think that was pretty much it.
00:47:02Is it...
00:47:03Enough to be able to, like, know to look after Alethra?
00:47:07I'm just curious if it was around when I last saw her, which was a while ago.
00:47:11How many years ago did you see her?
00:47:141374.
00:47:15Three years before Van's final flight with Comfrey.
00:47:20It was the year after Max's grandfather died.
00:47:23It was 1374.
00:47:25It was Monty.
00:47:27I mean, I don't know if you know anything about Monty and his relationship with Comfrey,
00:47:29but it was when the estrangement between your dad and your grandma started.
00:47:33And then when did they divorce?
00:47:34Around, I think around, before that, but I feel like...
00:47:38You would have been, you'd have been, like, 12.
00:47:39I feel like around that time I got sort of a caging letter from her about looking after you.
00:47:4513 years ago, so you would have been, like, seven when Daisuke and Comfrey got divorced.
00:47:53Yeah, so it's strange to be here.
00:47:57Yeah, it's really strange.
00:47:59All right, well, I guess let's listen to her one more time.
00:48:01I just wanted to check in with you because I think that, to me, would seem excruciating.
00:48:06Yeah, that's a good word for it.
00:48:07Yeah, okay, so it is.
00:48:09Okay, yeah.
00:48:11Walking into the radio chamber, you see a full radio broadcast,
00:48:14and you see, set to the frequency, aught pi omega,
00:48:19which is the one that is broadcasting it,
00:48:21not only out through Zood, but all the way to fucking Gath.
00:48:24You see the crazy technology that Comfrey has up in here
00:48:26to make these crystal pylons able to transfer a radio signal interplanarly.
00:48:33It looks like the broadcasting technology is incredible.
00:48:36The recording she did looked rushed.
00:48:39There's a sort of wax cylinder that is, like, the recording
00:48:43that some of the breakups in the initial thing,
00:48:45and also it's just been running for months, right?
00:48:48Yeah.
00:48:49However, the script she wrote for herself is perfectly preserved.
00:48:52So there, written on the desk, you see her notes
00:48:55that are what she was hurriedly reading off
00:48:59as she had to communicate something.
00:49:01This is Comfrey McLeod broadcasting from the 7th Sub Vim Parallel,
00:49:05having left this recording at the Ramon Sioux Power Station.
00:49:08We've just received word that the Langosta 5 is losing oxygen rapidly.
00:49:1540 knots vex neph from the ectic research station.
00:49:19The true temple has experienced a breach
00:49:22and is gaining methane and krill at an unsustainable rate.
00:49:26This broadcast is intended for any who can come to our aid.
00:49:29Our expedition disembarked from the Ramon Sioux Power Station
00:49:32on the 44th of Tahal with assistance from the House of Fuhuyar.
00:49:36We were discovered by the eyeless hand
00:49:39and had to launch prematurely.
00:49:41If you can hear this, Olethra, it's real.
00:49:44So it is real.
00:49:45It's glorious and dangerous.
00:49:47And if we're not careful,
00:49:49it's going to be too late to discover its true power.
00:49:52If you receive this message, please find your way to Daisuke.
00:49:57I know he's been looking after you in Gulch Canyon.
00:50:00He'll know what to do.
00:50:01He always did.
00:50:03Make your way to the effulgent bi-angle.
00:50:06All the coordinates I ended up piecing together
00:50:08are in the captain's log in the Zephyr Mark I.
00:50:11If you can decipher them,
00:50:12you'd need a crack mechanic to figure it out.
00:50:15But it's too dangerous.
00:50:17I don't know.
00:50:18I don't know if I was right or wrong, Olethra.
00:50:20Maybe you'll succeed where I failed.
00:50:23Look at both of you living out the dreams of your grandparents.
00:50:30Yeah.
00:50:31Oh.
00:50:32It really skips a generation.
00:50:34Like male pattern baldness.
00:50:37Yeah.
00:50:38So you find that there in the...
00:50:4240 knots, Bex and Neff on the exit station.
00:50:45Yes, do you know how to get...
00:50:47Sorry.
00:50:47Do these directions mean anything?
00:50:49Quick moment.
00:50:50The Hulyar was helping them.
00:50:53Yes, I heard...
00:50:53They're all dead here.
00:50:55So whoever killed all of the Hulyar was attacking my grandma,
00:51:00which includes this metal monster, maybe?
00:51:02So the metal monster was attacking her.
00:51:05Metal monster's aligned with the eyeless hand.
00:51:07Can I do a history checker, like an investigator?
00:51:10Yeah, send it to the Hulyar.
00:51:10Yeah, well, so you go ahead and...
00:51:14Search for an eyeless hand on this creature.
00:51:16Oh, or just on a wall somewhere.
00:51:18Yeah.
00:51:19Don't they always leave their little dumb mark?
00:51:20Do you guys want to go find other rooms in this stone tower?
00:51:25Let's look around.
00:51:26I'll give somebody...
00:51:27I'll give Maria the help action.
00:51:31And just also, I know that there was something weird with their blood.
00:51:34So obviously the bodies are going to smell bad.
00:51:36But if there's anything that's like supernatural or anything like that,
00:51:42like any of the scenes that we've seen before with the eyeless hand.
00:51:45There are like plenty of places to explore here.
00:51:48And you do hear the kind of like comforting strides of those like stone guardians
00:51:53who are walking around who appear to just be like tending to the power station.
00:51:56Can I flag one of them?
00:51:58Sure, yeah.
00:52:01What is that?
00:52:03And I point to the clockwork being...
00:52:07Tors.
00:52:08Okay, thank you.
00:52:11What's Tors?
00:52:12What's a Tors?
00:52:13Tors, associate of professor.
00:52:15Professor McLeod.
00:52:17That is Tors?
00:52:18The clockwork one?
00:52:20And Tors fought the house of Fahulyar or fought other people?
00:52:25Mm-hmm.
00:52:27Did the house of Fahulyar...
00:52:28Turn on?
00:52:29Turn on?
00:52:31Struggle to understand clearance.
00:52:34House of Fahulyar.
00:52:37Investor's clearance.
00:52:40She came here to study something
00:52:44and she worked with the house of Fahulyar, which is a bank.
00:52:48And then they probably found out what she was up to.
00:52:51She tried to get one over on them.
00:52:53Or she didn't have enough to show for, kind of like...
00:52:56It sounds like a bargain myself.
00:52:56Maybe she was like wasting money or something.
00:52:58Should we pop this gold heart in?
00:53:01Watch, that is the...
00:53:03That is the rowdiest idea I've heard come out of your mouth.
00:53:06My grandfather said you've got to roll the dice.
00:53:08Excuse me.
00:53:10I'm going to flag down to the Horned Beetle guys.
00:53:13We're going to do something that might be ill-advised.
00:53:16So just be ready to hold this thing if it doesn't work out.
00:53:20I ready an action in the mechs also.
00:53:22Do we want to call Van and Monty over as well?
00:53:25Van, Monty, got you, just got his sense of adventure.
00:53:28We're thinking of doing something rowdy.
00:53:31The Stone Guardian looks and as you say,
00:53:33like he's got a sense of adventure,
00:53:35you see that they turn and say...
00:53:36Finance you?
00:53:40Uh, yes.
00:53:41Yes, I'm financing this expedition, sort of.
00:53:46Oh, but don't kill me.
00:53:47Is that what happened here?
00:53:50Do you get higher clearance?
00:53:51Oh, maybe.
00:53:53Oh, yes.
00:53:55Yes.
00:53:56Don't kill me.
00:53:57What's your opinion on financiers?
00:54:00All must pay who wield the light.
00:54:03Oh, yes.
00:54:05So are you asking him for money?
00:54:08No.
00:54:09Okay.
00:54:10Well, there are outstanding fees,
00:54:15but we have...
00:54:18Delegate of the Hooyah captured.
00:54:27You have one here.
00:54:28Here.
00:54:30And they're alive?
00:54:31Yes, will you take us to them?
00:54:34Brown.
00:54:35You are adorable.
00:54:37Brown.
00:54:37And begins to sort of stride off down the hall.
00:54:42All right.
00:54:42Um, everybody, uh, gather up.
00:54:45Hell yeah.
00:54:46So there's a lot going on.
00:54:47So they just told you Tors is a companion of Professor MacLeod.
00:54:50Also, we have a delegate of the House of Fahuoyah.
00:54:53Do I want to pop up the Tors first or after?
00:54:58What do you think?
00:54:59Ever since you said the idea, I can't stop thinking about it.
00:55:01I can't stop thinking about it.
00:55:02I know that, uh, obviously you're all the vets,
00:55:05but I can see that spirits are a bit low.
00:55:08So let me just say this as a new adventurer.
00:55:11From where I stand, I see a bird that we need to fight.
00:55:17A beast.
00:55:17A beast that we need to fight.
00:55:19That's not something that should stop us from adventuring.
00:55:23That's something that should encourage us to adventure.
00:55:26We've got a curse to lift and iron heart, bad, gold heart, good.
00:55:33Put gold heart in, robot, good.
00:55:37When you break it down, like.
00:55:39And also let's find comfrey, right?
00:55:42Give me a, uh, give me just a charisma check here.
00:55:46I got a good persuasion.
00:55:47Yeah.
00:55:47Give me, give me a persuasion check here.
00:55:49Iron heart, bad, gold heart, good.
00:55:52Gold heart, good.
00:55:53Right?
00:55:53You know who has a heart of gold?
00:55:55You.
00:55:55Oh, thank you.
00:55:58Oh, baby, 21.
00:55:5921.
00:56:00Maxwell, as you say iron heart, bad, gold heart, good,
00:56:03you see that all the stone things around you go.
00:56:06Iron heart, bad.
00:56:08Gold heart, good.
00:56:10Yes.
00:56:12Gold heart, good.
00:56:14Seems, seems right enough.
00:56:16Romance, only came to life months ago after hundreds of years, no power.
00:56:27Do you have gold heart?
00:56:32Not in this way, but in a figurative way, yes.
00:56:40Figures, figures, figures, good.
00:56:43Yeah.
00:56:44Perhaps no administrator.
00:56:48And they say they nod to each other and say, for who you are, delegate, this way.
00:56:54And begin to walk off with you.
00:56:56Taurus is still here.
00:56:57A lot going on.
00:56:58And you see that one of them turns to you, Max, and goes, what is your name?
00:57:03Maxwell Gotch.
00:57:05Maxwell Gotch.
00:57:06Mr. Maxwell Gotch, right this way.
00:57:09And begin to lead you off down the hall towards this Fuhu-Yar delegate.
00:57:15All right, do you guys want to come with me to the Fuhu-Yar delegate?
00:57:17Well, I feel bad awakening this robot because it was your whimsical idea.
00:57:22Well, do we want...
00:57:22We can always come back.
00:57:23Yeah, we can come back.
00:57:24Okay.
00:57:24Why don't we take...
00:57:25Why don't we grab...
00:57:26You have the gold heart, right?
00:57:27I got it in this bag.
00:57:29Right on.
00:57:29All right, that'll make sure...
00:57:30Right on.
00:57:31Should we take the bad heart as well just so nobody pops it in?
00:57:33Yeah.
00:57:34I'm going to kick it into that corner.
00:57:35There you go.
00:57:36Yeah, I'm going to...
00:57:37You blink, kick the bad heart into the corner.
00:57:39Ow, my...
00:57:39Oh.
00:57:41You're kicking a heavy iron, a cast iron mechanical heart into the corner.
00:57:46I stopped.
00:57:47There he is.
00:57:48I'm fine.
00:57:48You guys head off, and you are walking towards an area where you see there begin to be small
00:57:55doors that have sort of like ceramic slats in them.
00:57:59And, Mari, you begin to see that some of the ceramics in this part of the power station are very similar to the tile you have.
00:58:05Mm-hmm.
00:58:06From the power station.
00:58:07Did you ever look at the tile?
00:58:09Did it align with one of these three...
00:58:11The tile had a light and a dark.
00:58:13The dark was kind of like Straka.
00:58:16The light was a different energy, and it was not...
00:58:19Was it solar?
00:58:19Was it lunar?
00:58:20There is a combination.
00:58:21The dark energy was the same as Straka, and it was the same as that red light down below.
00:58:27Great.
00:58:27And then the light energy, was that like something that I recognized here?
00:58:31Was it lunar?
00:58:32Weirdly.
00:58:32I think both the lunar and solar energy that you received here did actually appear to both be of Zoot.
00:58:39They both appeared to be a native energy.
00:58:41Okay.
00:58:41Okay.
00:58:41You move out, and these constructs take you out of the stone tower, so you go past that place where your key got you in.
00:58:49Okay.
00:58:49Can we lock it behind us?
00:58:51I have arc and lock.
00:58:52I can lock it.
00:58:53Yeah, you can go...
00:58:53If you're worried.
00:58:54Okay.
00:58:54You put a little...
00:58:56The jumps in the keyhole, it spreads out in there.
00:58:59You walk down, come to this area with these ceramic slats, and as you walk down, you hear, bang, and hear something get thrown against the clay and rattle off.
00:59:12And you hear a woman's voice calling out, saying, stupid stone construct!
00:59:18I will just...
00:59:19I'll put my foot so far up your ass, I'll tear your stone bottle out of your fucking body!
00:59:23Let me out!
00:59:25And before we go in there, do we want to trick this person?
00:59:28Why?
00:59:29Oh, like how?
00:59:31You don't have a disguise kit, do you?
00:59:33No, but I think I have a friend who does.
00:59:37God.
00:59:38Okay.
00:59:39Okay.
00:59:39I try to make eye contact with everyone, like, we gotta let them do this.
00:59:43No.
00:59:45Look, I...
00:59:46If you could get in touch with that friend, it'd be so appreciated.
00:59:50Let me get into character.
00:59:53Hold this.
00:59:53Bag.
00:59:55I have to make a confession.
00:59:57Oh.
00:59:58I was there at the fighting pit.
01:00:00Yes.
01:00:00It was me the whole time.
01:00:01You were the different guy?
01:00:04It's the slowest roll down.
01:00:07Oh, that looks painful.
01:00:08It's tugging at your...
01:00:09Oh!
01:00:11You can't have a shirt?
01:00:12It was a different guy.
01:00:14Right.
01:00:14Okay.
01:00:15Well.
01:00:16Right.
01:00:16Okay.
01:00:17Okay, so we're coming in with just kind of a nude...
01:00:19Well, I'm not going in with that.
01:00:20If you'd like to go in by yourself like that, that's fine.
01:00:23We can wait.
01:00:24I'll walk you in like you're a prisoner.
01:00:26I'm in the next...
01:00:26Why don't you leave your hands behind your back?
01:00:28Do we not want to know where, like, the professor is and whatnot?
01:00:31I was just saying...
01:00:32Nude cop.
01:00:33My idea was like, what if we get this person to think that we're a part of the Fajoli
01:00:36yard so they give us honest information?
01:00:39But I guess I don't really know anything about that.
01:00:41Never mind.
01:00:42It's a stupid idea.
01:00:42No, no, no.
01:00:43You're my listener.
01:00:44I thought it was a stupid idea.
01:00:44Good cop, nude cop.
01:00:46I think we should try it.
01:00:48I fucking hate that.
01:00:48It was a perfect idea.
01:00:50I didn't mean for him to turn himself this hard.
01:00:53No, it's the got show.
01:00:54It's the got show.
01:00:55I'm just saying it's the got show.
01:00:56It's just...
01:00:57Happy.
01:00:57Mr. Big Rich is over there.
01:00:59Mr. Big Rich is over there.
01:01:02I just want to know what's going on.
01:01:06You gotta know.
01:01:07Can I attempt to grapple Gotch and put the bald cap on him?
01:01:10Can you open this door?
01:01:11I can't open it.
01:01:12You're in a scarcity mindset.
01:01:15Both you and Gotch can try the same guy.
01:01:16Gotch, I tried to grapple you in the mech suit and put the bald cap on you.
01:01:19You do the talking.
01:01:20I'm going to just wear this.
01:01:2317.
01:01:24It's not good.
01:01:25I got a nine.
01:01:26Judo throw the mech down.
01:01:28Do not sneak up on a Revington mat.
01:01:31The bald cap is on the mech.
01:01:34It's like Janelle.
01:01:36It looks like a weird guy.
01:01:38All right.
01:01:39I just want to know.
01:01:40The baby came out with the condom on him.
01:01:41This person is in no position to withhold information from us.
01:01:48They've been trapped here.
01:01:49Why do we need to lie to them?
01:01:51Why don't we just...
01:01:52The simplest thing...
01:01:53Mr. Big Rich just has the plan.
01:01:54I'm not Mr. Big...
01:01:55Take my bald cap, I'm putting it on.
01:01:56Hey, everyone...
01:01:58I'll stand behind it.
01:01:58I'll stand behind it.
01:01:59I'll stand behind it.
01:02:00Everyone, it's showtime.
01:02:02Watch, can I sidebar?
01:02:03Watch, can I sidebar?
01:02:04Yeah.
01:02:05Happy it means this.
01:02:06He's been listening to a vocal recording of his ex-wife every single day.
01:02:11I think this person might attack him if he acts strangely.
01:02:15What if he takes off his armor and he's dressing nude?
01:02:19I don't know.
01:02:20All right.
01:02:21I've actually had...
01:02:23Pappy, I've actually had a change of heart.
01:02:25After sidebarring with Maria, I've decided that actually it would be best for this person
01:02:30who's been trapped in here for months.
01:02:32They clearly hold all of the cards, so we have to go in there really low status and lie
01:02:38to them and say that we have a prisoner for some reason.
01:02:41Listen, I don't even want to do the plan anymore.
01:02:47I'm just going to stand behind you with this wig on.
01:02:50A wig now.
01:02:51Why don't we do...
01:02:52How about I'm a prisoner and I turn around.
01:02:55The mech still has the bald cap and I'm a prisoner.
01:02:58I'm going to let you know that the prisoner has heard this entire conversation and you
01:03:02will be rolling all charisma checks and wisdom checks with disadvantage.
01:03:05I have said I want to tell the truth all the time.
01:03:07I don't know why I'd be rolling with wisdom checks.
01:03:09Because Pappy's feeling.
01:03:10I have a long...
01:03:12Let's just do both plans at the same time.
01:03:14I don't get Pappy in my mouth.
01:03:15I'll only speak for myself.
01:03:16I will not speak for my crew at all.
01:03:18All right?
01:03:20Hello.
01:03:22Hello, Mr. Big Bridges.
01:03:24My name is not Mr. Big Bridges.
01:03:26My name is...
01:03:27Then why is your assistant calling you this?
01:03:30It's not my assistant.
01:03:32We are...
01:03:32Well, I'm not going to speak for him.
01:03:34Who are you?
01:03:36What?
01:03:36I'm your assistant.
01:03:37This must be Mr. Little Bridges.
01:03:39Yeah?
01:03:39Why don't you come in here and I see how small your Bridges get.
01:03:42And I'm a prisoner.
01:03:43You put your hands in.
01:03:44The Meg.
01:03:45The Meg.
01:03:46Make an athletic check.
01:03:48Everyone.
01:03:50So much.
01:03:5027.
01:03:51She's like 4'11.
01:03:53This tiny little blonde woman in pinstripe trousers, white button-up shirt, little black bow tie.
01:03:59She's got like a trilby or something like that.
01:04:01And you see that she's got some like Nordic-looking runes on her arms.
01:04:05Leaps up.
01:04:06Does like a hold.
01:04:07Locks her legs around the hand and says,
01:04:09My hand now.
01:04:14Sorry.
01:04:14Our prisoner has gotten a hold of you.
01:04:17Um, flick her off.
01:04:19Yeah.
01:04:19What's her name?
01:04:21I am Freya Ildestotter.
01:04:24I am of the House of Fuhujar.
01:04:27I am a junior associate at the Elmbrook branch.
01:04:32Your bank teaches to jujitsu to its employees?
01:04:36We are the most fearsome bankers in all of Sud.
01:04:40We will destroy all other retail banks.
01:04:45Like a cool banker.
01:04:47Wow.
01:04:48Wow.
01:04:48Okay.
01:04:49Give me my axe and my hand cannon and I will show you how hard I can bank.
01:04:54Did you fly one of the penny farthings?
01:04:57My craft was struck down by the liar, Comfrey MacLeod,
01:05:02who you certainly are here assisting, yeah?
01:05:05Yes.
01:05:06Well, we're on the fence sort of about Professor MacLeod at the moment.
01:05:11We're certainly looking for her.
01:05:14Um, look.
01:05:15On defense?
01:05:17On defense, yes.
01:05:19We don't know.
01:05:19I don't know.
01:05:20Like, we're not working for her.
01:05:22I work for myself.
01:05:23Look, you're in here.
01:05:24We could just...
01:05:25What does this mean you work for yourself?
01:05:26My name is Maxwell Gottsch.
01:05:28Oh, you want to fight because you work for a different bank?
01:05:31I don't work for a bank.
01:05:32I just work for my family.
01:05:33And you know what?
01:05:35You work for family...
01:05:36Yes.
01:05:37...financial company?
01:05:38Sort of.
01:05:39My grandfather was an investor.
01:05:41My father's sort of a patent troll and landlord.
01:05:45It doesn't sound good.
01:05:47I don't like him!
01:05:47Your father is a troll!
01:05:49Yes, he's an absolute...
01:05:50Well, um, yes.
01:05:51Whatever.
01:05:53Yes.
01:05:53My God, they are real.
01:05:54The legend.
01:05:57Yes, um, look...
01:05:58But a patent is...
01:06:00Well, uh, it's sort of like you take an idea and you...
01:06:03Don't give this to this girl.
01:06:05Don't give this idea.
01:06:06It's the candy you give to everyone.
01:06:09It's always for free.
01:06:10These trolls, they do lure people this candy into the hills.
01:06:13They turn them to stone.
01:06:14It's candy.
01:06:14When people give you money, you give them candy.
01:06:16All right.
01:06:16We'd theoretically like to let you out of here.
01:06:19So, let's just chat.
01:06:21Why did you attack Professor Confrey MacLeod?
01:06:24Because after the emergency disembarkment, there were no returns on investment.
01:06:33The funds that she said from...
01:06:35The rare minerals that she was accruing, which was the basis of the small...
01:06:40The business plan.
01:06:42She fibbed on the business plan!
01:06:44All right.
01:06:44Well, that's not right.
01:06:45So, she made the emergency...
01:06:49They showed up here with all this ectic research.
01:06:52Ectic research.
01:06:54What is ectic research?
01:06:55We are looking for super gold.
01:06:58A gold a hundred times more golden than gold.
01:07:01Is that what the heart is made out of?
01:07:03What?
01:07:04Just show the heart.
01:07:05What is it?
01:07:06They're in shit.
01:07:07They've been here for months.
01:07:08What are we afraid of this person for?
01:07:10I don't want to eat any more bugs.
01:07:12Oh.
01:07:13Well...
01:07:13We don't want you to eat it.
01:07:14Look, we're going to let you...
01:07:15What?
01:07:15You can't make me eat more bugs.
01:07:17We're definitely not going to...
01:07:18We're not.
01:07:18We're not.
01:07:19The stone construct says, we feed her bugs.
01:07:22But you're a bug.
01:07:23All right.
01:07:23You're a bug.
01:07:25No, I'm a stone construct.
01:07:26You're a beetle.
01:07:27I look like a bug.
01:07:28Oh, okay.
01:07:29All right.
01:07:29I'm Annabelle.
01:07:31Annabelle, could you show the heart?
01:07:33I'm Annabelle.
01:07:36I'm going to show you something in this bag.
01:07:39Is this the gold you speak of?
01:07:40Super gold?
01:07:41Can you show the...
01:07:42Well, tell us your plan first, maybe.
01:07:45She's behind bars.
01:07:46She can't get it, right?
01:07:47Well, just don't go super close.
01:07:49Okay.
01:07:50Yeah, I'm just ready.
01:07:50Yeah, I'll give you a magnifying glass.
01:07:52What is that?
01:07:52Do you want to open the count?
01:07:55I do.
01:07:56I don't have any credit.
01:07:57You could be a teen saver.
01:07:58I would...
01:07:59Yeah.
01:08:00I'm a little...
01:08:01I just turned 20, so I...
01:08:02You cannot be a teen saver!
01:08:04Dude, look.
01:08:05That actually really hurts.
01:08:07Yeah, it really does.
01:08:08Take that back.
01:08:09I cannot.
01:08:10Take it back.
01:08:11The rules are the rules.
01:08:12Annabelle, she really made me hurt my feelings.
01:08:17All right.
01:08:17We don't have...
01:08:18Look, we're just trying to find the professor.
01:08:21You're being really rude, and you're just in here.
01:08:24We could just leave you.
01:08:24I'm not afraid of you, Mr. Big Britches.
01:08:27You don't have to be a...
01:08:28Oh, you handsome mustache.
01:08:29Yes, you know what?
01:08:29I am Mr. Big Britches, because you know what?
01:08:31I could walk down the hall, and you'll have to stay in here and eat bugs for the rest of your life.
01:08:34So maybe you do have to listen to Mr. Big Britches.
01:08:36Give me persuasion or intimidation.
01:08:38I'll do intimidation.
01:08:39Here we go.
01:08:40Maybe you do have to listen to Mr. Big Britches.
01:08:41God damn it, I got a two.
01:08:43Well, I could flash...
01:08:44Yeah, you can help.
01:08:45Yeah, help him.
01:08:46How do you help, Annabelle?
01:08:47Mr. Big Britches does happen to know...
01:08:4921.
01:08:5121.
01:08:52Okay.
01:08:53You see, she looks and says,
01:08:55All right, Mr. Big Britches.
01:08:58With your nice, waxy mustache.
01:09:01Look, we're just looking for information here.
01:09:03We don't want anyone to be in here being forced to eat bugs.
01:09:07So let's just help each other.
01:09:11Do you know anything about what Professor McLeod was doing when you were helping fund her expedition?
01:09:20Yeah.
01:09:20She had numerous sites all over Zood, and she had worn out her welcome with some of the people in Oda and Sumara that were happy to help her, but did not have, you know, money.
01:09:41And so they asked her to explain her plans and to review them so that they could help with their, you know, different, you know, their Zood.
01:09:51They want to do all these things together and help.
01:09:54But she wanted to do things her own way, so she made a deal with the House of Fruya.
01:10:00She opened an account.
01:10:01She submitted an application for a loan.
01:10:04And with that application for a loan, she knew the consequences.
01:10:08If she did not make the money back in a certain amount of time.
01:10:14So we came here to recoup whatever expenses we could.
01:10:23What was the original agreement?
01:10:26What that?
01:10:27What was the original agreement?
01:10:29Speak up, Annabelle.
01:10:29You're a valued member here.
01:10:32I'm only junior associate.
01:10:34I don't have access to the contract.
01:10:36But she submitted that she was going to do a survey with these machines that only she could know about.
01:10:46Some of them, they thought they were going to be aerial machines.
01:10:49They were going to be mining operations on the various asteroids, which we were very interested in because that's where we live.
01:10:55So we wanted to do the survey on the asteroids.
01:10:58But then we start to see plans for this thing.
01:11:01Where's the propulsion?
01:11:02How does it go through the air?
01:11:04And, oh, what you mean is it's submersible.
01:11:07Yeah, I was going to say, does it go underwater, though?
01:11:10Yeah.
01:11:11Okay.
01:11:11So we see that and we go, well, that's not, that's a, that's a.
01:11:15Methane krill underwater.
01:11:18Ectic station, maybe underwater.
01:11:22But you know, does she owe you money, too?
01:11:25Yeah, she owes me so much fucking money.
01:11:27She does actually, group deception checks.
01:11:28She for sure owes me the actual money.
01:11:29Well, actually, I do want to kick her ass.
01:11:31Mm-hmm.
01:11:33Oh, my goodness gracious.
01:11:35And you can, you can roll on this as well.
01:11:37Yeah.
01:11:37Group deception.
01:11:38I think I'm doing, I'm doing persuasion.
01:11:40Persuasion.
01:11:40Oh, because you, she does, yeah, you do.
01:11:42She owes you a tremendous amount of money.
01:11:43Yeah.
01:11:43Nineteen minus one is an eighteen.
01:11:45Eighteen.
01:11:46Okay.
01:11:46She does legitimately owe me money.
01:11:48I only got a twelve, though.
01:11:49Nine.
01:11:50Sixteen.
01:11:50I owe her money.
01:11:51Gotcha.
01:11:52Sixteen.
01:11:52So, sixteen, that's, so that's a sixteen and nineteen.
01:11:55Roll for Freya.
01:11:57And you see that Freya looks and says, so she also owe you money.
01:12:00She took something from me, I would say this, yes.
01:12:03Yes, we are.
01:12:04So, we are working against the same purpose here.
01:12:06So, House of Fruya would be happy to help you.
01:12:08We would love that.
01:12:09Do you know anything about the eyeless hand?
01:12:14Those freaks.
01:12:15I tell you this right now.
01:12:18They are not business minded.
01:12:20Are they magicians?
01:12:22Yeah.
01:12:23Occultists.
01:12:24Necromancers.
01:12:25They do strange things.
01:12:28Have powers.
01:12:29You cannot imagine.
01:12:30I hate them.
01:12:31Was she running from them here?
01:12:34Like, did you get here when she had already left?
01:12:37The clockwork that you fought, or was it that, uh,
01:12:40I heard that freaking thing.
01:12:43Yeah.
01:12:44No good.
01:12:45But, I was captured beforehand.
01:12:48Who were you captured by?
01:12:50I wasn't technically allowed to come on the raid.
01:12:55But, I was going to prove a point.
01:12:59All right.
01:13:00That I say I am not brawny.
01:13:03But, I am fearsome.
01:13:06You are.
01:13:07You really are.
01:13:08So, I stalled away, and I stalled one of the penny fowlings, and I crashed right at the start of the battle.
01:13:15Really?
01:13:16I knocked myself out.
01:13:17That's why you're so mad.
01:13:19Wow, so you actually missed the entire battle.
01:13:22How did it go with me?
01:13:24They're all dead upstairs.
01:13:25They're all dead.
01:13:26I know it's not this cage for a while.
01:13:27I'm sorry.
01:13:29I thought maybe they forgot me.
01:13:31No.
01:13:31Or maybe they let me here as a lesson.
01:13:33No.
01:13:33The guys can be really rude and mean to me.
01:13:36Well, they're all dead.
01:13:37They are all dead.
01:13:38That's awful.
01:13:38I'm sorry.
01:13:39I thought maybe it would help if they were so mean.
01:13:41They need to talk better, Voria.
01:13:43You, maybe.
01:13:45Yeah.
01:13:45If you were knocked out immediately.
01:13:47I mean, the clockwork looked quite fearsome.
01:13:52We've been debating for a while whether or not we're going to try to wake it up or not.
01:13:57Well, I would say you don't wake up that thing.
01:14:00It's a demon.
01:14:01Oh, a demon.
01:14:02Yeah.
01:14:02Is it related to the Isle of Sam, the occultists?
01:14:06Yeah.
01:14:07Yeah, maybe.
01:14:08Probably.
01:14:09Real confidence.
01:14:10I'm a junior associate.
01:14:12Yes, of course.
01:14:12Yeah, yeah.
01:14:13Do you want to, let me talk to my friends real quick.
01:14:16Listen, I can make an introduction to the bank elders.
01:14:20That's all right.
01:14:21The fans of the bank.
01:14:22Put everybody aside.
01:14:24I think that Freya might be willing to help us with locating the professor.
01:14:33And she likely would know where the other stations are and whatnot.
01:14:39And we have information on her, which is that she went against her bank's wishes and whatnot.
01:14:45They seem pretty serious and pretty severe.
01:14:46If anything has changed at the bank, she might be able to reach back out and hear what's going on.
01:14:51You know, get...
01:14:52Or we could convince her that she needs to finish the job that she's started without going to her bank.
01:14:59So she might not necessarily need to alert.
01:15:01But she doesn't have access to the full file of Comfrey yet.
01:15:06So maybe...
01:15:06I think we'd rather have this collateral.
01:15:09Yeah.
01:15:10Because we don't want her to call these people that attacked Comfrey.
01:15:14She knows more than we do.
01:15:16Yes.
01:15:17It's true.
01:15:17Okay.
01:15:18Do I have to do the voice when I'm with you?
01:15:20Do you have to do the voice when you're with us?
01:15:24So what do you say?
01:15:25She knows more than we do.
01:15:26Yeah.
01:15:28Whoa!
01:15:28Where did you come from?
01:15:30That was commanding.
01:15:31Yeah.
01:15:31Oh my God.
01:15:32Oh my God.
01:15:33It's you.
01:15:34There he is.
01:15:35I also think that the ectic station is underwater.
01:15:39I was curious if this is the ectic station.
01:15:41What does ectic mean?
01:15:43I don't know what it means.
01:15:45But I'm guessing it's like...
01:15:46One, I think it's like an exoskeleton.
01:15:49So underwater you would need extra protection.
01:15:52Okay.
01:15:52And when he was saying, oh, we're running out of methane in krill.
01:15:56Krill makes me think of the water.
01:15:59Maybe they feed on methane vents in the deep sea.
01:16:02It's something to think about.
01:16:03Yeah.
01:16:04But I mean, I trust your instincts with business.
01:16:07What does everyone else think?
01:16:08I feel like we can bring her along and if she gets out of line, you know.
01:16:12She crashed a pen.
01:16:13Can you talk to the stone people and say that you'd like her to be released?
01:16:19Yes, I think so.
01:16:21Let's chat with...
01:16:22I think we're going to speak to Freya, the prisoner.
01:16:28But I think you don't have to put her back in the cell.
01:16:34She'll be here as our guest.
01:16:36And I think we'll go up to Freya.
01:16:39Is everyone all right with this?
01:16:40Should we do this without asking Monty?
01:16:43No, we should probably ask that.
01:16:44All right, let's do that.
01:16:45We'll cut back to Monty and Van.
01:16:47Van, you scoot down into the launch office.
01:16:51This is like, you can see that there's like old cups of coffee that are kind of moldering.
01:16:57And this is very much like, this is a place, there's like a funny calendar on the wall.
01:17:01This is a place where...
